Red, Black and Grey Check Wool Scarf

A deep, theatrical red, like a velvet curtain before the show, takes the lead in our iconic check, with black and grey around it and soft touches of camel for contrast. It’s a dramatic scarf that stays tidy and wearable. Edinburgh Cashmere is a Scottish heritage brand, and this one shows the traditional check in full voice.

The scarf is handcrafted in extra fine pure lambswool at a Scottish mill that has been weaving for over 250 years. In the iconic check, wide red panels give the design its energy, black lines frame each block, and the grey and camel squares add quiet depth and a little light. Wear it with a navy jumpsuit, an all-white outfit for a sharp contrast, or a taupe sweater and black leather trousers. The fringe carries a thin red stripe through its pale strands, a neat echo of the check.

It takes 29 steps to make, and the last is a hand-brushing with teasels that leaves the wool soft, light and gently raised. A scarf with drama and good manners, made to be worn for many years.
